The concern for respecting human dignity, in general, leads to a detailed analysis of concepts such as freedom, equality, fairness, fraternity or respect for life. Focusing on studying the subject of child dignity leads us to slightly different aspects. There are several main directions that can be considered. Respecting dignity in the family, at school, in the community, in the mass media, in the church are some of the variants that can be addressed. This work will be limited to respecting the dignity of the child in primary education. After analysing the specificity of the research in the wider field of child dignity, a list will be provided containing practical ideas that can be applied in teaching.
